Passenger statistics and history

In 2024, Heathrow handled 83.9 million passengers, its busiest year on record, and it remains Europe's busiest airport, with more international connections than any other airport in the world. It opened in 1946 as London Airport and took the name Heathrow in 1966; Terminal 5 opened in 2008. Traffic figures move from year to year, so read that number as an indication of scale rather than a live count.

Getting to London Heathrow Airport

London Heathrow Airport lies about 24 km (15 mi) from central London, measured in a straight line. The Elizabeth line, Heathrow Express and the Piccadilly line all run into central London, about 23 km (14 mi) to the east. Two evergreen tips regardless of how you travel: confirm your terminal before leaving, and if you are picking someone up, track the inbound flight on this site first: you want to arrive when the aircraft actually lands, not when it was scheduled to.
